Winternight portrait

Took this lately..






Need comments on how to improve/if there is something to improve.
Reason she doesent smile, is because I wanted a cold feeling (I like those themes ), where she hide herself inside the hood.

And yeah, some noise in the picture, because I needed to add more light in PS..ufortunately.
I never upload the original file or files in full size, because of personal reasons.

Nice shoot. Try to put some more whites in the photo.

Thanks. What do you mean by "put some more whites in the photo"? Like fixing the snow?

I can't comment on the colours as this is an uncorrected monitor, but I would suggest more background. To really transmit a cold feeling to the viewer, they need to see some of the cold, and right now, about all we can see is a woman in a jacket. Some more cold, snowy backgroudn would help a lot.

Just my $00.02 worth - your mileage may vary.

Thanks for your reply. Maybe its your monitor, but in the background you can see snow falling down...
Also, the colours are dark blue, kinda...tried to make it as cold as possible.

Also on her hood you can see melted snow.
